Abstract

An object description language and a system in which the language is utilized is provided. The language describes the elements and structure of another programming language. It allows more information to be expressed by a developer than can be expressed in other programming languages. In addition to describing how objects interface with each other, the object description language of the present invention captures thc structure of objects. The object description language can also contain information pertaining to memory management and scheduling. A system in which the language is utilized is also provided. The system assists the developer with code development. The system includes a compiler for the object description language, a compiler for the programming language being described, a separator, and a combiner. The components of the system work together to produce object code that is then executed on an applications platform.

Description

[0001] This application claims priority to the provisional application Nos. 60 / 223,547 and 60 / 267,433, filed on Aug. 4, 2000 and Feb. 9, 2001, respectively. Both of these applications are incorporated by reference in their entirety herein.[0002] 1. Field of the Invention[0003] The present invention relates generally to computer programming languages and more specifically to high-level, object-oriented computer programming languages (used for describing the elements and structure of other programming languages).[0004] 2. Related Art[0005] Developers of computer applications need to describe their programs in a simple, straightforward way. Often, more information needs to be expressed by the developer than can be expressed in programming languages such as C++ and Java. For many platforms, the functional structure of programs needs to be expressed to perform optimizations that will take advantage of the features of a given platform.[0006] Although current description languages are beco...
